I just want to send a quick note to the art department at Nestle. The ice cream you’ve depicted on the front of this package has hints of vanilla and chocolate ice cream as well as strawberry. When you combine strawberry, vanilla and chocolate the ice cream it’s more commonly known as Neapolitan. More importantly, this treat contains zero vanilla flavour or any indication of vanilla cream. The name reflects the lack of vanilla, but the image does not. At first I wasn’t very sure what I was getting because of this package flaw.

Once you bite into the first square the lack of any cream or vanilla is obvious. There is a hint of strawberry, but the overwhelming flavour is still chocolate. The fact that the strawberry is lacking is problematic. I’m not sure what kind of filling they’re using for the strawberry, it feels like a dense strawberry cream or maybe a light strawberry flavoured chocolate, it’s hard to tell. The thing that isn’t hard to tell is that there needs to be a stronger strawberry punch to this bar. It also wouldn’t hurt to use real strawberries for that matter.

I don’t really understand what this “scoops” series of Aero bars is going for. The implication is that it’s supposed to have some kind of ice cream theme, but I don’t really get that eating this chocolate. Ice cream has two features, it’s cold and creamy. This bar really isn’t either of these. The milk chocolate is fairly creamy, but not more creamy than a regular Aero bar. I’d like to suggest how Aero could improve this bar, but frankly if they’re going for an ice cream theme they just have to start again from scratch. All that said, the milk chocolate is good, and the bubbly texture is fine.
